Solomon’s Thieves and Earp
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Broken Frontier as I’ve been busy with Extra Sequential and its journey from on-line mag to print. Hopefully good news to report on that soon. Anyway, here’s my review of Solomon’s Thieves, a rousing OGN written by Jordan Mechner, Prince of Persia’s creator.
Also up at BF is one of the best interviews I’ve done in a while (not that I can take credit for that) as the writer of Radical’s new sci-fi series Earp: Saints for Sinners is one interesting fella. Read my chat with M. Zachary Sherman here.
